Description

The Pirate Captain followed a treasure map and found mounds of gold right where the X marked the spot. Now, the adventure is over and it is time to transport the booty back to the ship.

Take on the role of a greedy pirate, only interested in pocketing as much of the treasure for yourself, hoping this will be your Reversal of Fortune.

The rules are simple:
Shuffle the two decks thoroughly. Deal out five cards to each player from the Action Deck. For each turn, play or discard one card. End your turn by drawing a new card.

Game Design: Jeremy Southard
Artist: Wesley K. Hall
